Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is cherished in Ayurveda as a sacred plant of vitality, clarity, and spiritual protection. For thousands of years, she has been planted at the entrance of homes and temples in India as a living guardian of peace.
β¨ Why Tulsi?
Tulsi is an adaptogen, which means she helps your body adapt to stress with more ease. Her gifts include:
π Calming the nervous system without dulling your energy
π Supporting focus and mental clarity
π Strengthening immunity and respiratory health
π Lifting mood and easing the weight of anxious thoughts
π± How to Work with Tulsi
- Brew fresh or dried Tulsi leaves into a tea, sip slowly and let her grounding warmth settle your spirit.
- Blend Tulsi with other herbs like rose or lavender for an even more heart-centered infusion.
- Add Tulsi powder into smoothies or golden milk for everyday resilience.
β¨ Ritual Suggestion:
As you drink Tulsi tea, place a hand over your heart and whisper a simple intention: βI choose balance. I choose peace.β Allow her essence to carry that prayer through your body.
